Management and Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

3. If there are two management modules and one fails selftest, the one that passes selftest becomes
the active management module.
4. If only one of two modules was ever booted in the chassis, that module is given precedence.
5. The module that was active on the last boot becomes the active management module. This
guarantees that the active module has the latest configuration data.
6. If both management modules have previously booted in this chassis and were "active" the
last time booted, the module that booted most recently becomes the active management
module.
7. If none of the above conditions are applicable, the module in the lowest slot becomes the
active management module.

The following CLI commands can be executed during initial syncing between the active management
module and the standby management module, which occurs when the standby module is inserted
or after a reboot of the system. All other CLI commands will not be executed until after the initial
syncing completes.
